Really excellent food with generous portions and good prices. Service was great. We tried to order online but order didn't work. Calling was easier and quicker. You can specify a heat level online but you need to mention it when ordering. Would definitely go back. read more

Had always seen the sign before moving to Eugene: "Eugene's Best Tamales". I now have reason to believe it! Still more tamales to try, of course. When walking in you are greeted right away with a good vibe cozy atmosphere and a cute bookshelf sound system pumping out festive music at just the right level in high fidelity while you read the menu on the wall. The colors are pleasing and the chairs are amazing! Normally i wouldn't mention chairs, but you will see what I mean. Ordered some tamales and tacos. The people are very friendly and the food was ready pretty quick. First bite of the big tamale was heavenly. Delicate texture and great flavor. Definitely check oout Mami's! Easy to access location on West 11th when you need to go to Lowe's and do returns because your partner changed their mind on something (again) ;) read more

Went and ordered their tamales. I got the chicken and pork. They are huge I will give them that but they taste gross nothing to what tamales taste like. The masa lacked salt. We went there when they first opened up and we didn't care for the food , but we figured because they just opened and where busy so we tried again and nope won't go back. 6 tamales for $20 and 12 for $40. When we normally buy them 12 for $18 or 12 for $25 at other place that makes them and makes them like they should be made. There sign say Eugene's best tamales and that should be taken down they are gross. read more

My coworkers and I come here alllll the time, especially on fridays. The food is so so good, I always get a burrito and my coworkers get their tamales and enchiladas, which are HUGE! I love their huge portions, you get so much for your buck. Everyone that works here is so nice. I like that this place is located near our work so we can just walk there. The pricing is so good and affordable. I like the atmosphere here, it's pretty quiet and the decor is fun. I've never been in the bathrooms but as a whole this place is very clean. read more

Mami's Mexican Grill | Eugene Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This is one of the best Mexican places I've been in Eugene thus far. The nachos were very tasty and substantial and the horchata was very tasty! The service is always friendly and the staff very gracious and kind. The environment is laid back and fun. My two boys loved the little Mexican puppets and music. Had a great atmosphere to bring the spirit of Mexico. The fish tacos weren't great that's my only disappointment. I want to come back and try that tamales though! Next time we will try those. read more

I usually come over this place during lunch hours and always end up ordering chicken tacos meal $9 with horchata. Its a $1 more for replacing the drink in combo with horchata. The price is comparably reasonable for the quantity of food provided. The food is delicious and I do enjoy their horchatas. They can customize the food as per your liking as well. With that said, the interior however could be upgraded. I truly believe this restaurant has a lot of potential; they have amazing food, nice staff and ample of space indoors. If they change the furniture and design, it could be a lot more inviting to many people. Parking is available on the site. read more

Excellent genuine Mexican food! Large portions, super fresh ingredients, GREAT PRICES! Try the Nachos. They'll set a new standard. Abundant meat (of your choosing), chips, beans, cheese, guacamole, cilantro & BURSTING WITH FLAVOR!!! You'll love this place. I did. And you'll recommend this place to your friends and family. I did! read more

BEST MENUDO EVER! I go here at least twice a month to get it. Only served on weekends and they sell out sometimes so call ahead.

Went in to order 2 burritos and a side of beans. Waited 30 minutes (they weren't busy). After waiting 30 min for 2 burritos I asked how much longer and they said "probably 10 min" --- I waited another 15. That's right folks, 45 minutes for 2 take out burritos. Cherry on top... I ordered a vegetarian burrito and it had chicken in it. Was already back to my hotel by that time so total waste all around. read more

Just off the road from New Mexico and all the little border towns in between. This place definitely has that good flavor. Very reasonable price as a burrito the same size would have been $14 down in Cali read more

For a fast Mexican place, this was dope. I got a taco salad with nacho cheese. Amazing! I was pretty blown away by how crispy the she'll steadied without getting soft. Even the bottom was still creepy when we left. Definitely an easy place to go read more

I wanted to like this place. I have seen so many great reviews. We showed up, the lot looked empty. Walk in to a packed house end up having a huge wait time, got ordered finally and barely find seating. Most of the people in there were holding spots for more people to come. I went up to get a fountain soda, there was ants all over. That didn't sit well with me while waiting for my meal! The chips n salsa were decent thank goodness, except it was hard to keep my mind from wandering about those ants. I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas, when it finally came out I tried it. I would have to say it was one of the worst mole's I have tried. I definitely should have stuck with something else here. Like maybe a street taco, or burrito, since that is what they are more known for. If I decide to go back, it won't be for the mole enchiladas...I will have to try something else for sure. I would also maybe do a hard wait... because now my mind is going back to those ants. Yikes! read more

Went in for dinner. I had a Chicken Torta, it was wonderful with nice sauces. However my wife had 2 Shredded Beef Tacos and rice, her beef was very over cooked and dry. The rice was very bland. Very nice staff that maintained a clean restaurant. We will go back one more time and try a couple of different dishes. There prices had gone up considerably compared to those shown in the pictures. Did see a couple of Burritos that came out of the kitchen and they looked great. Might try that next time. read more

I wish I had better things to say because I'm usually one to support local businesses. I've given Mami's a chance about 8 times over the last 2 years because my fiancé doesn't mind it. I've experienced, missing items in our order, incorrectly built meals, rude customer service, and EXTREMELY long wait times. We just sat in the drive thru for 40 minutes with our screaming 7 month old baby and when we got to the window, the guy did not have our order right. There was only one vehicle ahead of us when we arrived too. Haven't even looked at the food yet and to be honest I don't even want it anymore. I've worked in the restaurant industry, at least 1 good experience out of 8, shouldn't be too much to ask for. read more

My partners and I had lunch here today, with the usual premium grade fare. The food rates as some of the best Mexican food I've experienced, even rating beyond the border states to our south. The rice and beans are even prepared fresh, and not food service rations as the competitors. The carne asada quesadilla is a family favorite. The service is good, and there's never been an issue with cleanliness. Well worth the visit, and I highly recommend this little masterpiece of an eating place. We return often. Arrive with a generous appetite. The servings are voluminous. read more

The food is great but the service was extremely slow. Waited for probably about 30 minutes for a few tacos and asada fries, but they were yummy once we got them. read more

The Chili Relleno Burrito was heavy, sloppy and weighted down with half Melted Cheese, tough pepper and rice. Tamales which is their claim to fame was not edible. The spice level, texture and fillings all off. read more

Ok Mexican. More American than Mexican . I asked for no rice in my burrito and I had rice in my burrito. That would be ok except they drench all their meats in this sauce that is not very appealing. If you are looking for a burrito as big as your lawyers ego you will be pleased to eat here. read more

I was astonished at the prices here.... it is very expensive. Come on $9 for a burrito?? I just ordered a bean and cheese. $3.95. I asked if they put a lot of cheese...they did but it was cold( not melted) and in chunks. She asked if i wanted salsa...i asked for green. And it was very good. That's all i got.... read more

Tamales call my name, and Mami's delivered with a tasty pork tamale! They have a flavorful red sauce that helps the corn stay moist. Pork to corn is spot on. Ate one at the restaurant, and got half a dozen to take home. My husband had a giant burrito that had the same red sauce throughout. We will be back! read more

After trying Mami's nachos I just had to update my review. I came in and ordered the nachos to go and not only was it quick but it was a huge portion of nachos that lasted me multiple meals! The chips were nice and crispy and stayed crispy on my 10 minute drive home. It comes with your choice of meat and I chose shredded chicken which is definitely not skimped on. It also had guac, sour cream, onions, beans, tomatoes and cheese. The service is friendly and you can tell it's a family owned restaurant and everyone who works there is very hard working. Although it's a little on the outskirts of West Eugene, it's worth the trip for the food. They always have specials on the board as well. I will definitely be back for the nachos! read more

I think this little locally owned and operated tamale house is wonderful. First of all, I'm all about supporting local as much as I can, and second of all....that red sauce. I ordered two pork tamales to go which I wasn't sure if they'd hold up until I got home, but they did! My first bite, the masa was creamy and smooth, it wasn't grainy or too thick. The ratio of masa to meat was perfect (you know sometimes there are tamales that are all masa and an itty bitty amount of meat? lame). But that red sauce, it wasn't a red red sauce like we're all probably used to seeing and eating at Burrito Boy (which is good too). But this sauce was creamier, had a hint of a smokey aroma that came as a pleasant surprise, after it's initial roll onto the tongue. This is very much a quick service type of a set up, but with ample seating inside. As of just a few days ago, they installed a pick up window. You can call in your order and drive up, pay and pick up your order. Now don't get that mixed up with a drive through. They do not do drive through orders. When things get busy inside, they won't have time to juggle drive through orders and walk in customers. But it's still nice to know you can call your order ahead and just go pick it up. Omg, I can get fabulous tamales through a window, and never have to get out of my car!! What?! The two young people behind the counter were sweet and accommodating, and answered all of my incessant, probing questions. Told my parents about this place, and it is now on their list to come try soon! And so should you! read more

When you hang a sign saying that you are the best you need to prepare to be challenged! I have been trying to stop in at Mami's Mexican Grill for the past few weeks, but never made it until this Saturday. This place has a really nice Mexican decor with the most comfortable padded seats. I think they want you to enjoy your meal. Typical cal Mexican menu with a hundred items! Of course I went with the tamales and added two tacos since I thought I might still be hungry. The tacos were great and would order them again but the tamales were absolutely huge! I ordered two with beans and rice and barely finished half of one! This is a plate for two easily. 100 percent corn meal authentic with your choice of beef, pork or jalapeño! Are they the best in Eugene? I need a bigger sample size to be sure but they are pretty damn good! Bon appetit. read more

We ordered delivery on a Friday evening, so we can attest to the food and the speed of delivery, which was super fast! It said 45 minutes plus but it was quicker! Anyway, I ordered the taco combo with asada, chicken and chile verde. Delicious! The tacos stayed together and weren't overwhelmed with unnecessary toppings. My husband had the Mami's burrito with carne asada and it was huge, for once he didn't finish it in one sitting, but that could have been because we also shared the Nacho Libre. Those were good too! The bacon at first seemed like an odd addition but they used quality bacon and it made for a decent topping. The one thing I would say for the layout of the nachos is to have all toppings over all the chips, not like guac on this little part, then this cheese here, the bacon here and the chicken over here, so some bites had all chicken or all one cheese, that kind of thing. Otherwise, our experience with Mami's food was great! read more

So far I've tried the Mami's burrito, jalapeño crunch burrito and the shrimp taco's; All flawless and generous in size. I tried the chicken once and wasn't too impressed.. over seasoned in my opinion. But the carne asada is my go to. Sauces/salsa's are good, I usually don't care for habanero, but theirs is worth trying! Both green and orange are on the mild side but good and not watered down. I appreciate these smaller businesses that keep their prices decent, have friendly service and keep their quality consistent. Definitely worth trying out!!! read more

Solid Cali burrito and the Baja bowl is a good go to as well. Consistency can be an issue if and when you make changes. Many times my wife's order is wrong. read more

Tried this place last night after seeing all the good reviews! Yelp definitely didn't steer me in the wrong direction, this place was great! All together we ordered chicken taquitos, chicken tacos, carne asada taco, fusion torta, and chips and guacamole. I think my favorite items were the chicken tacos and the fusion torta. The torta... OH MY, it was amazing!!!! I do wish their guac wasn't so chunky but the flavor was good. 5 stars if they had margaritas...if they did, I would be back every single day! read more

I went for lunch on a Friday in December. The restaurant was packed, and seating is limited. It was also freezing cold in there. We had to wait about 30 minutes to get our food, which was a long wait for a small order (a taco, quesadilla, and tamale). I was also disappointed that the only tamale they had was a cheese and jalapeño one...strange given their claim to be a great tamale place. Having said that, the food was great. The tamale was amazing, actually. And it was HUGE. One tamale is easily a meal, which is a great deal for $3. I'm going to go back sometime and hope to get in on a pork or chicken one. read more

Good food, just miserably exploding afterwards. Basically paid 12 bucks to sit on the toilet for 12 hours. Will be back one day when I'm ready to revisit my demons. read more

We're from Southern California. My wife is Latina. This is one of the best Mexican restaurants we've been to. My wife said she hasn't seen better Mexican food outside of her mother's kitchen. Portions are large and quite tasty. We ordered a single sope, two tamales, a burrito, and Nacho Libre for three of us for lunch. Half of the burrito and the tamales are now going to be dinner. Great food, and great prices. Thank you! read more

Ordered via Door dash - fulfillment and the delivery period was great. Problem was entirely with the order itself: Now - I WILL admit, the burrito was HUGE. but......... 1.) I ordered a FISH burrito, received beef. Not a simple error to make. 2.) Clearly and specifically requested NO onions, NO rice and NO sour cream. Yep, all of those were prominent within the burrito. In fact, you could smell the onions before opening the delivery bag. 3.) I was hungry, starting my shift at 9am and working alone through to 4pm. I had a coffee earlier and was desperate for lunch by the time the order was placed but simply could not eat the delivery. Received a credit from Door dash but it did not satisfy the moment. I work in the food service industry myself so I understand the stress at prime service hours BUT - HOW do SO MANY ERRORS happen with one order? Not sure I can trust my order requests here for another trial. read more

Best burrito in town! I tried Mami's for the first time today by ordering the fat boy burrito. Not only was the burrito delicious, but their red sauce was great! The only negative is that they don't have a kids menu. It was hard finding something for my boy, especially since they don't have ground beef. His bean and cheese burrito was good, but he only ate half of it. read more

Wow, I have driven by this place so many times I finally decided to do takeout. I got the chicken taco salad with chip and salsa. I am not disappointed AT ALL. Let me tell you, the chips were the first thing I dug into. They were warm and delicious. Most authentic chips ever. The salad paired perfectly with it, i loved that it was chunky and not just a blend. The taco salad was to die for, with every ingredient and the guac that just comes with it. The shell was very crispy and delicious. I wish there was a little more lettuce but Other than that, this meal was fantastic. I will be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Tried this place for the first time tonight. I was looking forward to tamales, but they were out. (They said a group came in and ordered 4 dozen and wiped them out- what can you do, it happens). Instead I ordered a taco ( al pastor at the recommendation if the counter guy.) The fiancé and I also ordered carne asada fries and a regular asada burrito to try our a few different things. The burrito didn't have a ton of meat, but the tortilla was delicious, and the meat was really tasty and it was still filling with beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese in it. The carne asada fries were more expensive than some places, but the fiancé liked them. The taco was the clear winner though- lime, cilantro, onion, well seasoned tender meat, two tortillas- perfect! All the ingredients tasted fresh, and the meat was very good. No gristle or yucky pieces like most other places we've tried seem to have. The staff was very friendly as well. We will definitely be back! read more

This place I would recommend I have had the Torta which is Mexican Sandwich. I also would come early because they run out of ingredients fast. read more

Went through the drive through yesterday,; we ordered tamales, tacos, and quesadillas. Very good and very filling! We will be back! Really good fish taco and chicken tamales, the pork tamales was a bit greasy for me. read more

I'm originally from Tucson so I'm hard to impress when it comes to mexican food. Therefore I set my bar pretty low. However, this place makes a decent burrito, and best of all they are a good size. I'm super curious to come back in for the tamales and the posole on the weekends. Space is clean, employees are friendly and they do take out. read more
